"What are you waiting for! Get to work!"
Li Sheng was also an impatient person. He quickly caught up with the bespectacled guy and led his men into the building.
The structure of the K3 base building was somewhat complicated. The group walked through the empty office area and turned two corners before finally finding the elevator.
There are two elevators in total, both of which are residential elevators with low load capacity.
Rocket and Zhuangzhuang, both fat and strong, weighed more than a person. Lu Sheng and her group, along with a cat and a dog, filled the elevator.
"Vice Commander Li, I'll take the big sister and the others down first. You guys take the other elevator." The bespectacled guy squeezed in with difficulty, supporting the rocket's big butt with both hands, and gestured to Li Sheng and the others to indicate where they were.
"There are so many empty offices on the first floor, why did you hide people so deep inside?" Xiao Meng brought the dog team that was following him into the elevator as well.
There were four dogs in total, each with smooth and shiny fur. They were staring at Rocket and Zhuangzhuang with their tongues lolling out, their little eyes revealing a hint of fear.
Mom, I've finally seen the king of dogs in my lifetime!
"Sister Xinqiao said that pregnant women shouldn't be exposed to the wind, so she brought everyone to the basement, on the second basement level. Don't go to the wrong place."
Taking advantage of the moment the elevator doors were closing, the bespectacled young man hurriedly gave Li Sheng and the others another few instructions.
As Lu Sheng and the others slowly descended the elevator, Li Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned wearily against the elevator wall.
I'm over fifty years old now, and my energy and stamina can't compare to those of younger people. I was dragged on by sheer willpower all day, and now that I've finally won this tough battle, I can finally relax a little.
His back had been hurting so badly he couldn't straighten up, but he didn't want to lose face in front of the kids, so he forced himself to get here.
"Vice Commander Li, the elevator seems to be broken."
Xiao Meng pressed the close button a few times in confusion, but each time the two doors were about to close, they would open with a beep.
They opened and closed the elevator more than ten times, but they still didn't move from the elevator lobby.
Li Sheng wearily lifted his eyelids, his voice slightly hoarse, "If all else fails, take the stairs. Don't keep them waiting."
Just as the group was about to step out of the elevator, dragging their heavy steps, a series of pattering footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor.
Xiao Meng's dog squad immediately perked up their ears, making low, gurgling vibrations in their throats.
"Woof woof!"
Just as the dogs barked once, a round little face suddenly appeared next to the elevator.
A little girl, about two or three years old, peered curiously into the elevator from the wall before immediately pulling her head back.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, come to your brother."
Xiao Meng squatted down, opened his arms and gestured for the little girl to hug him, then turned his head and whispered to Li Sheng for permission, "She probably came here with her parents to take refuge."
"Take it with you, don't make her cry."
Upon seeing the adorable human cub, Li Sheng's tense expression finally broke into a slight smile.
Seeing that the little girl didn't move, Xiao Meng simply took the initiative to pick her up and carry her back to the elevator. While comforting the child, she pressed the elevator close button again.
Just like before, the elevator doors opened again just as they were about to close.
"elder brother……"
Suddenly, the little girl who had been nestled silently in Xiao Meng's arms looked up and timidly called out towards the elevator ceiling.
Everyone in the elevator instinctively looked up, and the scene before them made their throats tighten in shock.
A small, bluish-gray figure hung upside down from the elevator ceiling, staring menacingly at everyone.
The elevator wouldn't close because this strange child had blocked it with his body!
Xiao Meng looked down in horror at the child in her arms, who felt like a hot potato.
The next second, a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the elevator.
At this moment, Lu Sheng and the others had just followed the bespectacled young man out of the elevator and walked along the long corridor into the depths.
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly stopped and looked around curiously. "Did you hear that just now? It sounded like a scream?"
"No, are you just too tired and hallucinating?" Xiao Yu casually nudged Zhang Xiaojuan's shoulder.
"A real man never complains about being tired. I'm not tired, so don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Xiaojuan pricked up her ears, looked around at her surroundings, and muttered, "Your ears are like wood ear fungus, you can't hear anything! There really was a sound just now!"
"Let's find them first." Lu Sheng frowned slightly and beckoned Zhang Xiaojuan and Xiao Yu to follow.
She did indeed hear a faint sound just now, but meeting up with Sun Tiantian and Han Rui was the most important thing right now.
The group walked briskly along the spacious corridor into the depths. As they walked, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted past Lu Sheng's nose.
It has a scent that blends green grapes and tea aroma, which lingers and smells wonderful.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to warn the others to be careful, the scene in his field of vision suddenly began to blur and fade.
A deep weariness suddenly washed over me, and a wave of drowsiness instantly crept onto my eyelids.
Lu Sheng felt as if every joint in his body was made of tofu, so weak and limp that all he wanted to do was lie down and get a good night's sleep.
When the scene in his field of vision returned to normal, Lu Sheng suddenly realized that he was lying in bed.
The blue striped sheets with white sheep patterns were the new sheets she had just changed when she left the base. One of the sheep still had oil stains on its face from Zhuangzhuang eating spicy snacks, which she had tried to wash off several times but couldn't.
There was her game console charging by the bedside, and a few baby's breath flowers newly planted in the base were in a vase on the windowsill.
The room and layout were familiar, and you could even feel the dried duck neck that Zhuangzhuang had secretly hidden under the pillow.
